2011 Map of Fort Mitchell

About this map

Fort Mitchell stands as a central landmark in this portion of Russell County, Alabama, overlooking the eastern bend of the Chattahoochee River. The area is defined by its deep historical and military ties, containing both the Mitchell National Cemetery and a portion of Fort Benning. Small settlements like Lato, Nuckols, and Oswichee are scattered across a landscape drained by the winding Uchee Creek and its many tributaries, including Sevenmile Creek and Coupen Creek. The presence of several dams, such as the Yuchi Lake Dam and Snyder Pond Dam, indicates a managed water system supporting local lakes and ponds. Researchers will find numerous rural road networks, like Old Seale Hwy and Tarver Rd, connecting these older communities to the river landings and family-named cemeteries that anchor the local heritage.
